Fined for BlackIisting a Man.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, January SIN
the City Court this morning Judge Pick,
ett rendered decision in the cases OF
William II. Wallace. assistant superln-
tendent of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, and Stacy b. Op-
dyke, superintendent of the New Haven
and northampton road, accused OF CON
spiracv by Thomas F. Meany, who
charged them with "blacklisting' him.
The accused were fined $50 each. They
will undoubtedly appeal from the de-
cision.
The Judge In his decision said that he
was clearly OF the opinion that conspi-
racy designed 10 hinder any man from
putting his labor on the market, when,
where and for such compensation as ne
may agree for, is equally criminal with
any conspiracy designed TO hinder the
sale OF the merchandise Of any producer
or dealer, and is more disastrous in effect
than any other form OF industrial or busi'
ness combination or conspiracy.

WASHINGTON, February 3.-The
Legislative, executive, and judicial APP
preparation bill reported by the APP
preparation Committee to the House
to-day makes a total appropriation Of
500. 2S6, $40, which is less than the APP
preparation for the current year by
3ilS,545 The estimates aggregated
S2l, 170, goo. Among the Legislative
features contained in the bill is a pro-
viso that no part of the money appro-
priated for the Civil-Service Commits
sion Is to he used until the commission
repeats the rule forbidding the appoint
ment of applicants over the age of
foIty-five years.
As q result of the consideration of
the various bills looking to the con-
struction of new naval vessels, the sub
committee Of The House Committee on
Naval Affairs has drafted a bill, which
will be laid before the full committee
tomorrow, providing for the construc-
ton of two steel cruisers of 1000 tons
burden, four steel gunboats of LOO
tons displacement, and one cruising
steel tOTpedO-bOat Of not more than $50
nor less than 1875 feet in length. All of
these vessels are to be built, as far as
may be, in compliance with the terms
of the act Of August 3, 1886. The bill
appropriates 81, 400,0 to begin the
work.
The post-ofliee appropriation bill was
reported by the Senate Committee on
Appropriations to-day. The committee
made but two amendments. The first
WAS Mr.. Frye's proposition for foreign
mail service so changed as to appro-
pirate $500, 900 for the carriage of mails
TO Brazil, Argentine Republic, IRA
quay, and Paraguay. The other amend
ment gives authority to put letter-boxes
in buildings which are freely opened to
the public during business hours, modi-
flying to that extent the House provi-
sion limiting the authority of the De
partment in this respect.
The President and Mrs Cleveland
entertained the Diplomatic Corps at n
State dinner tonight. Covers were
laid for forty-one guests. The White
House was magniiicently decorated
with plants and flowers, and music was
furnished by the Marine Band. All
the foreign Ministers residing at the
capital were present except the Japan
csc Minister, who was absent on ac-
count OF illness. The guests outside of
diplomats were Secretary Bayaid,
George Bancroft. Mrs. Folsom, Mrs.
Lamont, Miss Sternberg of Buffalo;
Miss Kin9sford, of Oswego, \. Y.
Mrs. Charles S. Fairchild, Mrs. Banks,
Of Albany, and Mrs. Alfred c. Chaplin,

Of ninety-four pages, most Of which are

service law ia unconstitutional because
it confers on q board created by legis-
latiye branch of the Government pow
ers Of selection and appointment 70 Of

reasons are also set ont in the paper.
u is believed that this proceeding is the
first taken with view to testing the
legality of the Commissions existence.
After the petition had been presented
the Court stated that the matter came
up in such a shape that it would be ne
cessary to consider whether it should be
taken up directly upon the basis of the
petition or be allowed TO come up on
ccrtiilcation from lower court.

The "yow of obedience " of priest, Of

is simply promise TO obey

concerning a priests duties of religion.
IL were monstrOus to imagine that the
promise has not clear and well-defired

student Of the Propaganda, was not as
some seem to imagine-to go wherever

Prestoris's political letter, 10 admonish
him and other ecclesiastical dignitaries
of the grave danger of repeating the
folly and shame of condemning scien-
tifc truth as religious heresy-the
shame and folly of which their prede-
cessors had been guilty in the con-
domination Of Calico and Copernicus.
1t seems that they are fated TO repeat
this crime and blunder, and to add
another TO the many reasons that have
made men look upon ecclesiastical au-
thority as one of the greatest foes of
scientific progress, of national develop
ment, and of national liberty, and in a
large part hindrance rather than q
help in the way of bringing to the whole
world the light, purity, and comfort that
come from the teachings and ministra-
tons of Christ.
